How do I open a downloaded file in Linux?

Re: How to open downloaded file

What you want is to go to the Menu, select ‘package manager’ from the menu and enter your password to allow the program to open. This is Synaptic, the main package manager for debian based distros. In the search box, type in gtkpod and it should come up.
